Drew is all parents whose old circles don't have kids yet.

I'm currently using Unraid for pretty much every thing you listed, and I love it so much. I really appreciate being able to set up almost everything through the web interface. It makes my hobbies feel fun rather than just an extension of my day job.

That said, I bought the licence before they switched to a subscription model. So if I were starting over I might look into free alternatives.

You can still buy a lifetime subscription for Unraid, it's just a lot more expensive.

100% this.

For me I got so immersed in the world and character that it didn't even occur to me to save scum. This RPG is so good that I actually felt like I was living the story. The only game that ever managed to accomplish that.

I dunno.. Anytime my kids see these pouches at a store, they beg us for them. We've never bought them at home either. I think kids just like the novelty of drinking out of a bag.

Agreed! The most promising standard is called matter. Vote with your wallet!

Soon we'll be able to remove peoples clothes in real time. Truly the future we all aspired to.

Terrorism is when the weak strike against the powerful. Oppression is when the powerful strike against the weak. Both are deplorable, but the latter is much more insidious due to the target population's inability to stand up for itself.

So it's very rich to hear you lecture others on not knowing their history, when you apparently just ignore the over half a century of oppression that led to these acts of terrorism in the first place.

You also say all Palestinians are undeserving of sympathy, because of these acts of terrorism. Is that because you think all Palestinians are terrorists? Or just because you think Palestinians are subhuman and undeserving of sympathy by default? Either way, there's a word for that, it's called being a bigot.

The Firefox example is actually the reverse, Firefox funds the Mozilla Foundation. This is a case of an open source project successfully monetising through search referrals (mostly from Google).

You do if third party clients aren't possible? You have control over what client the receiving end is using.

But apparently third party clients are possible, so it's moot.

Of course, I fully agree! My point was just that you can eliminate the risk of poorly implemented cryptography at the endpoints. Obviously there's a thousand and one other ways things could go wrong. But we do the best we can with security.

Anyway apparently third party clients are allowed after all? So it's a moot point.

Excellent point! If I'm sending someone information that could get me killed if it were intercepted by the state, I'd sure as hell want some guarantees about how the other side is handling my data. Disallowing third party clients gives me at least one such guarantee.
